Wireless Security disables on its own

Every week or so, I go into my Base Station Tools and set a wireless password
for our router and after a couple of days it disables itself on its own. So I
have to go through the entire process so often . . I'm really frustrated at
this point because I want my wireless to be secure.

Any help is sooo very appreciated!

In desperation,
Daniel

do other settings become disabled? In any case, I would not take a
chance and would consider replacing the router.

I haven't noticed of any other settings being disabled. Sometimes the
wireless network name gets reset as well . . is there no other way to get
this problem fixed? I've experienced it from the get-go. I just wish
microsoft would be more supportive I really don't have the money to dish
out for a new expensive router.

Any help would be great.

there were reports of this when the MN 700 router was new and fully
supported. It was never clear if this was caused by power
fluctuations or bad power supplies or something else, but the power
theory was tossed around. MS replaced a few under warranty. But that
was years ago. I don't remember what the issues were with the
earlier MN 500. You don't need an expensive router to replace it.
You can probably find something for $30-50 with the same features
(and better performance).

Like Barb said, I would replace the router. They aren't that expensive
today, and you'll be getting newer technology. That base station is pretty
old now, and you will get better hardware and firmware by getting one of the
inexpensive models now available.
